Screenly puts content on your screens and keeps it running, all managed from a browser. This section takes you from nothing to a screen playing your content in about fifteen minutes.
Start here
Set up your first screen is the walkthrough: sign up, connect a screen, add content, build a playlist, assign it, and check that it is playing. Six short steps, and most of the fifteen minutes is waiting for a device to boot.
You need three things: a display, something to run Screenly on, and an internet connection. What you need covers each in turn.
No hardware yet? You can do the entire walkthrough in a browser tab, with nothing to buy and nothing to install. Everything you build carries over to real players when they arrive, because it lives in the cloud rather than on the device.
